2019 Map of Goforth

About this map

The South Fork Licking River cuts through the southeastern corner of this terrain, where the boundary between Pendleton County and Grant County is clearly defined. This rural landscape is characterized by a dense network of ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Goforth and Pleasant Ridge sit atop the high ground. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Fishing Creek and Brushy Fork carving deep into the topography. Family history is etched into the land through numerous small burial sites, including McMillan Cemetery, Johns Cemetery, and Mount Carmel Cemetery. Near the center of the area, Gene Snyder Airport serves as a modern landmark amidst traditional farming ridges like Fairview Ridge and Turner Ridge. Local transit follows long-established routes such as Hog Ridge Road and Gum Lick Road, connecting dispersed homesteads and crossroad communities.
